((Michael Vick is arguably the best kept secret to ever come out of the oldest of five high schools in Newport News. He has been called a pioneer, a quarterback who will revolutionize the position in the NFL. He is the biggest star in all of college football, a role his coach knew he always wanted to play.
((:))
Michael Vick grew up in Newport News in a close knit family. His mom, two sisters and brother still spend summer days watching TV in the living room, talking, smiling, just being together. Vick's mother Brenda Boddie is more like a sister to him than a mom. Her sister nicknamed Michael when he was little.
((:))
While that trade mark smile got him out of trouble with mom, lightning fast legs and a cannon of an arm that the nation was exposed to in the Sugar Bowl kept him safe on the field and led to his discovery.
((:))
Vick lead Warwick to a 7 and 3 record his senior season and was 20 and 13 in nearly three and a half years as the starting quarterback at Warwick. Tommy Reamon's office is decorated with articles about his protege and a Heisman plaque Michael gave his coach.
((:REAMON ON VIVK IN HIGH SCHOOL 19:39:44))
Now, Vick's younger brother Marcus is trying to do what Coach Reamon asks. A junior at Warwick, he has moved from receiver to quarterback this season. Michael's success has created enormous interest in Marcus from bigtime division I colleges and older brother is extremely active in making sure Marcus is better prepared to face what's a head.
((:))
But that doesn't mean the two athletes don't compete against each other, however, their battles are all in fun.
((:))
For three years Michael's mom has been driving a school bus for Enterprise Academy, a school for challenged kids. She also drives the Warwick football team, prompting the question, will Michael leave Virginia Tech after this season for the millions that await him in the NFL.
((:))
((:))
Barring injury, Vick should cash in on the millions the top pick in the NFL draft commands. That is his future. His past?... Well, his jersey has been retired and laid to wrest in a trophy case at Warwick, but his legendary importance to the school still vibrates through the halls with the same electricity that is trademark to how he plays the game.))
